Yesterday, James took us (Aig, Mon and myself) to Natchitoches (pronounced NAK-uh-tush), to see the christmas lights and fireworks. We had some meat pie which is famous in this city. While waiting for the fireworks, we also had some funnel cake, alligator sausages and alligator kabob. I did not have a chance to take the pictures of the food, though.

In the First, Icy Day of the Class
Last month, I was so busy preparing for the qualifying exam that I had failed last time. And I just retook it yesterday.
Today is the first day of my winter quarter. The only class that I am taking this quarter is scheduled from 8 to 10 a.m. of Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I had to run to the class in freezing weather of the morning. My car was covered with ice. It took over a quarter to melt it.
I was couple of minutes late. Some students were waiting in the class when I reached there, but no one saw Dr. Choi (the instructor). We wait for him for about half an hour. Someone went to the secretary office to ask for him. Then the secretary came by to inform us that he was in Australia...

Caddo Lake
We went to Caddo Lake on Saturday. Row, row, row your boat! :)
Other than fish, I found a small water snake, a beaver, and a flock of hawks.

Plasma Donation
I went to give the whole blood actually. But since my iron level was a bit low (even I had been eating tons of cashews this week), the staff asked me to give plasma instead. He said it was going to help people who had cancer. So I am honored.
It was written in the document that giving plasma would take about an hour. In fact, it took longer than that. I finished "Something to Talk About" that the staff opened for me. Imagine, the needle stuck in my arm for over one and a half hour!
During that time, I also felt like my body was shaky... like getting cold. The staff said it was normal because it returned the fluid back to me along with the blood cells. They also gave me something to drink. It was a can of cold soda. Man!
The good thing is I can go give it again in two weeks. That means I can give 26 times a year! Yay!

Today's Report
Many things happened today:
First, I was not be able to get paid this month since they had lost the paperwork on my assistantship. Though, they told me that I was supposed to get two cheques next month. I have to carefully manage my money again. :(
Second, I finally got my grade in Parallel Algorithms class which I had taken in spring. Dr. Baggag eventually decided to change it from IB to A without even saw my final report. I was surprised!
Third, I almost hit the car that broke the red light at the intersection. Fortunately, I managed to hit the break in time. Thanks to Mon as well.
Forth, I just knew from James that Dr. Baggag had resigned. Now, it was not surprising why he gave me the grade. But I was wondering what had happened to him and what James, his advisee was going to do. James did not seem to be worried about this, though.

A Night at Thai Temple
I spent this weekend with my friends at Thai Temple in Bossier, LA. It was a great weekend. Despite the regular services in the temple, I also had an opportunity to do meditation. It made me feel great, content, and calm.

Tub Tim Krob (Water Chestnut with Tapioca)
I had got this package from Asian market in Shreveport.
ได้ไอ้นี่มาจากร้านเอเชียใน Shreveport
I tried to follow the instructions but what I got was kind of water chestnut in sweet coconut milk (with pieces of jackfruit). The water chestnut was not covered by tapioca. Maybe it was too wet when I mixed it in tapioca.
ความจริงมันค่อนข้าง instant พอสมควรนะ แค่ต้มๆ แต่พอออกมากลายเป็นแห้วในกะทิ (แอบมีขนุนเล็กน้อย) แป้งมันไม่ยอมเกาะแห้ว แห้วก็เลยเป็นแค่แห้ว ไม่ใช่ทับทิม สงสัยตอนคลุกแป้ง แห้วมันยังไม่แห้งเท่าไหร่ พอลงไปต้มแป้งเลยหลุดหมด
It was not good but still not too bad.
เอาน่ะ พอกินได้

My Second Car
On the first day to Dallas, I thought I could not find the right one for me. But, eventually, I found a gold, 2002 Honda Civic LX from Dallas this morning. Right... It was old, and there were too many miles on it (about 86,3xx miles). However, it was in good conditions. The history was clean. The engine was good, no vibrations. P Gan and Ex helped me test drive and check on everything. It was okay, just too old. I will take the pictures of it post them here soon.

An Experience on a Car Accident
Today, around 1PM, after I went to pay the utility bill, I drove back home. To go home, I had to head to the south, and it was just a straight way, so I kept on the right lane. When I was on Vienna St., a white truck on the left suddenly moved to my lane!
He hit me! And I also hit a telephone pole!
I got out of the car right away. The neighbors were so nice. They saw the incident and they helped me. I also called P Gan for help.
My right knee got bruised. It would hit the storage under the console. And I had some scratches because the seat belt pulled me back. I was not much injured but my car was really damaged.
The officers came over to collect the evidences and tow my car away. Fortunately, the guy that had hit me did not ran away. But we did not talk.
P Gan took me to the hospital to checkup after that. Nothing broke, only the bruise. James also negotiated with the insurance for me.
I feel really unlucky these days. =(
What I have to do now is just wait to the report from the police.
Thank to those neighbors, P Gan, P Noon, and James. Everyone is so nice.

An Experience on Changing a Tire
I just got all tires of my car replaced couple of days ago. And today, I had to get one of them fixed.
My car was in the parking lot behind Nethen when I found the flat. Seeing from the back, it looked unbalanced. So, I took a closer look and found that the right back tire was flat. I knew that I had to get it changed. But how?
I had seen James car parked there when I had got out of the building. Then, I made him a call for help. While waiting for him, I took all tools that I had in the trunk, as well as the doughnut (spare) tire. It was heavy though. Also, the weather was damn hot!
When James appeared, we started changing it. James was an expert in doing so. It looked not hard though. The problem was, I did not have enough strength to screw the nuts, even thought I use my whole body weight. How pitiful!
Whatever, thank James for helping me.
Once I got it changed, I drove to wall-mart and paid $10 plus tax for this experience. =(

เป็นเด็กวัด
เมื่อคืน...มาเป็นเด็กวัด นอนวัดหนึ่งคืน
ตอนเช้าก็มาใส่บาตร ถวายเพลพระ กินข้าวเที่ยงแล้วก็นั่งคุยไปจนถึงเย็น
พอตกเย็นเอกกับมนมา พลวงพี่โจ้ก็พาไปร้านของทะเลทอด ซึ่งเป็นร้านของครอบครัวคุณคำพลอย เป็นคนลาว (พี่นูนกับพี่ก้านไม่ได้ไป ถือศีลแปดกัน) เราสั่ง 1 fish and 6 oysters เอกกับมนก็สั่งอะไรกันไป ปรากฏว่าพอเอามา มันเยอะมา รู้สึกเหมือนจะเยอะกว่าที่สั่ง กินไม่หมด แถมให้ cheesecake มาอีก เลยต้องเอา cheesecake กลับวัด
ตอนกลางคืนก็มานั่งทำวัตร สวดมนต์ นั่งสมาธิกันไป
เช้ามา ทำวัตรกันตั้งแต่หกโมง แล้วก็ช่วยพระเตรียมงานที่ศาลา ซึ่งยังสร้างไม่เสร็จ เป็นงานวันวิสาขบูชา แต่จัดล่วงหน้า ทำโน่นนี่เสร็จก็ได้นั่งพักหาอะไรกินนิดหนึ่ง คุยกับหลวงพี่โจ้อีกเล็กน้อย ประมาณสิบโมงครึ่ง คนมา ช่วยเตรียมอาหารต่อ
งานก็ไม่มีอะไร แค่ใส่บาตรพอเป็นพิธี มีพระสี่รูป เณรรูปหนึ่ง แล้วก็กินข้าว แล้วก็ช่วยกันเก็บ บ่ายๆ อากาศร้อนมาก ตัวเหนียว แต่ก็ช่วยกันเก็บเสร็จ
สี่โมง ลาพระท่านมา เพราะต้องไปรับเพื่อนพี่นูนที่เพิ่งเดินทางมาถึง แต่เครื่องบิน delay ก็เลยติดรถมนกลับ ส่วนพี่ก้านกับพี่นูนรอรับเขาต่อไป
...ไปเป็นเด็กวัดก็ได้อะไรเยอะดีเหมือนกัน ชอบแฮะ ไม่มีอะไรให้คิดมากดี
...หัวเข่าด้านแน่ๆ คลานไปคลานมา เพราะผู้ใหญ่ผู้น้อยเขานั่งพื้นกันหมด

Success and Fail
Two things:
As I took the qualifying exams earlier this quarter, I just got an email notifying me that I passed PDEs but failed Numerical Analysis. Right.. It was tough. =(
Usually I could not swim from one end to another end of the standard pool. (My friends told me it would be 50 meters). But today I could do that without stopping. Yay! It was so exhausted though.

Last Week
On Saturday, we (Thai students) went to the temple again. I drove this time. Fortunately that I have my new GPS and P Gan also showed me the way. My car shook when the speed reached 65 miles/hour. I think I should get it checkup someday.
In the evening, we had a small party. There was pork and beef grill. But I was so tired. I could eat just a little bit.
On Tuesday, there was blood drive in Tech. I could not give blood that day because my hemoglobin was a little bit lower than the requirement. Mine was only 37 while they required 38. The lady there told me to eat a lot of peanut butter. It could make the iron level go up. I did as she had told. I ate a bagel with very thick layer of peanut butter. So my iron level got higher in the next day. It was 39. I could give blood. Yay!

After Qual Exams
I had the qualifying exams on Wednesday and yesterday. Right after the exams, I went to the pool. Swimming was kind of getting relaxed a bit.
To get more relaxed, my friends and I went to eat at Raw restaurant. There were Sushi and Thai dishes. Surprisingly, the chef was also Thai. He has been in Ruston for only three months, but in the U.S. for thirty years. So, even he could speak Thai, his accent was quite like American. Another surprise was he was living in my old apartment.
Also, I just got my GPS today. It was Garmin nuvi 205W. I tested by let it leaded me to Raw.

Wat BuddhaSamakeeVanaRam
My friends and I went to this temple this morning. It was so great to be there. And I hope to go there again soon.
Despite the service that we did with some Thais, Laos, and Americans in this morning, we talked, we discussed about Dhamma. It was great to listen to Dhamma from the only monk there.
The temple is at

Here comes the snow again!
I had a test today. After the test, there was ice fall, then the snow came after lunch.
Due to the snow, the school closed since 1 PM because there was no truck or whatever to clear the roads.
The next day, P Gan, P Noon, Bell, and I got together, goofed around, took some pictures and video clips =).

New Roommate
He is no one but P Gan...
He just moved in today. He had a lot of things, most of them were kitchen stuff. There were also many things that his ex-roommate had left to him and he was going to give them away. So I got a (my) new lamp, a ceramic bowl, etc. Good for me because I had been thinking to buy them. Now I do not have to buy at all.

Fibonacci Number
Found this interesting number sequence on the poster in GTM, at the front of my class.
From wikipedia
From wikipedia
By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each remaining number is the sum of the previous two. Some sources omit the initial 0, instead beginning the sequence with two 1s.
In mathematical terms, the sequence F_n of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation
F_n = F_n-1 + F_n-2
with seed values: F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1
Then the sequence is
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, ...
Fibonacci sequences appear in biological settings, in two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, such as branching in trees, arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruitlets of a pineapple, the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone. In addition, numerous poorly substantiated claims of Fibonacci numbers or golden sections in nature are found in popular sources, e.g. relating to the breeding of rabbits, the spirals of shells, and the curve of waves. The Fibonacci numbers are also found in the family tree of honeybees.

What I bought these days
ช่วงนี้ซื้อของเข้าบ้านหลายอย่าง อาทิ กระติกเก็บน้ำร้อน (thermos) หมอน (pillow) ชั้นวางของอาบน้ำ (shower caddy) แล้วก็ชามแก้วแบบมีฝาปิด
เริ่มที่กระติก ก่อน เนื่องจากช่วงนี้หน้าหนาว ไอ้เอ๋กินแต่น้ำอุ่น (แม้จะหน้าร้อน ไอ้เอ๋ก็กินน้ำอุณหภูมิห้อง ไอติมบางครั้ง) แต่หน้าหนาวน้ำเย็นเร็วมาก จึงต้องมีอุปกรณ์เสริม เป็นกระติกเก็บน้ำร้อนขนาด 2 qt (ประมาณ 1.9 ลิตร) ขนาดกำลังพอเหมาะต่อการต้มน้ำวันละครั้ง ราคาก็ 15 เหรียญ ถือว่าไม่แพงมั้ง
แล้วก็ซื้อหมอนใหม่ เนื่องจากหมอนเก่าได้ฟรีมาจากตอนอยู่หอ ตอนนี้มันแบนมาก หมอนที่นี่ไม่รู้เป็นไง อยู่ได้ไม่นานก็แบน คิดว่าไอ้ที่ได้มาอาจจะเป็นหมอนราคาถูก เคยเห็นแบบ 2 เหรียญอยู่ วันนี้ได้ฤกษ์ซื้อใหม่ กำลังเลือกๆ อยู่ก็เจอ Dr. Dai มาช็อปปิ้งพอดี แกเลยช่วยแนะนำว่า ควรเอา extra firm เพราะไม่งั้นมันจะแบนเร็ว ราคา 5 เหรียญ แต่อีหมอนนี่ เขาวางไว้ชั้นบนสุด ไอ้เอ๋ก็เตี้ย Dr. Dai ก็เลยช่วยหยิบให้ ขอบคุณคับ ^^
อ้อ ตอนนี้หมอนอันเก่าเอาไปรองขาแล้ว แม้มันจะแบนติดที่นอนก็ยังคงใช้ต่อไป ส่วนหมอนใหม่ รอดูอยู่ว่ามันจะพองอยู่ได้นานเพียงใด
ต่อมาเป็น shower caddy หน้าตามันประมาณชั้นวางของพลาสติกกิ๊กก๊อก แขวนไว้กับฝักบัว (ฝักบัวที่นี่ติดกับผนังห้องน้ำ จึงแขวนได้) ราคาประมาณ 10 เหรียญ มีสามชั้น แต่ไอ้เอ๋เอาตรงกลางออกไปชั้นนึง เพราะไม่งั้นวางขวดสบู่กับแชมพูไม่ได้ ช่องระหว่างชั้นมันแคบไป ไม่ได้ใช้ชั้นนึง ลดราคาให้หนูได้มั้ยเนี่ย
สุดท้าย ชามแก้ว ยังไม่ได้ใช้เลย แต่จะเอาไว้ใส่กับข้าวเก็บเข้าตู้เย็นแหละ ก่อนหน้านี้ใช้กล่องพลาสติกตลอด พอใช้ไปนานๆ แล้วผิวพลาสติกมันเป็นขยุกขยุยยังไงไม่รู้ สีก็ออกเหลืองๆ ก็เลยไม่อยากใช้พลาสติกมาก เปลี่ยนเป็นแก้วดีกว่า แต่อีชามแก้วนี่ก็แพงอะ 7 เหรียญแหน่ะ

New Mailbox & Sushi
This morning, when I had checked my mailbox before I left home, it was an old, lame one. But as I came back in the afternoon, it was a new one. My mails will not get wet anymore. Thank to the landlord. =D.
Also, I already tried sushi at Tech. It was so good, though it was more expensive than other kind of food. That was normal.

Today's Weather Report
It is now 14 F.
I have no idea what happen to my water tab. There is only hot water, no cold water come out. Perhaps it would get clogged by ice.
9:55 AM - The cold water had been back.

Everything becomes ICE!
It has been so cold these days. Today, it has not gone over 30 F. Everything was frozen. Even at noon, the water outside becomes ice. I enjoyed stepping on and cracking it. Lady of the Mist (The fountain at Quad) was also frozen. I think she looked more beautiful with her iced base. Unfortunately, I did not have a camera with me, otherwise, I would have taken some pictures.
